I tried Porteus a while back (1.5 or 2.0 version, I can't remember) and stoped using it because the password for guest didn't worked. I used Lili Linux Creator and FAT ...

I tried Porteus 2.1 a couple of minutes ago (ext2, installed with Centos DVD) and - again - couldn't get into Guest. Password is not accepted ... New root password works fine ... I have changed guest password from root, but it is still not accepted. Screen goes dark for one second and then I am back into Login Screen.

Hi Mikedelaw1
could you please make another try, delete everything on your usb (or reformat)
and install porteus to your usb (ext2) from a porteus live-cd.
It always worked for me and so it should do for you.(hopefully)

Unetbootin crashes when I want to find the path of the iso. But if I enter the path manually, it works. Will try that ( or Universal USB Installer or YUMI).

I do not understand why you use 3rd party-tools.
The easiest and recommended way to install porteus is to boot a live-cd
and click the install-button.
This way only porteus is involved in the installation process and it should work.
Don't you have a CD-Rom?, any explanation?

Unpack the ISO file. Place the contents onto your USB. Open the boot folder and 'run as administrator' the Porteus-for-windows.com script (real name may differ). Or even better use Donald's method above. You never know when you may need that original burned disk again.

How do i become super user?
Wear your underpants on the outside and put on a cape.

Thanx. Will save.dat help to wore USB down more that ext2 which is USB friendly file format?

Hasn't this been reported before elsewhere? I'm sure to have read about passwords not working.

Some guy made a remastered version of Porteus and installed it. Guest password was not working ...

When you built your ISO, you didn't change the passwords?

I didn't.

I have now downloaded another version with guest password already changed. Will try once again during weekend ... I have used FF rather that older version of Chrome this time ...

I think it is a faulty download since when I put another USB, file manager won't mount it, and when I take it out, Porteus crashes with infinite crash report filling the screen. Funny thing that I have downloaded Porteus more that five times and have always experienced the same two errors ...
